Wondering what species this is. It looks farmed/ranched, with ear tags and fencing. But I'm only really familiar with American species, red deer, and fallow being farmed and this is none of these. Fallow have spots as adults, and white morphs. Maaaybe a sika?? But those antlers are fucking huge for a sika deer.
Axis is my guess antlers have that really vertical U shape with big bases. Hard to tell based on the video but they seem on the larger size which would also fit Axis deer. They seem to small and antlers are way different from Sika as well which is the other, other deer that keeps spots into adulthood.
No, this is real. It's a buck named High Cotton at North Texas Exotics, a wildlife breeding ranch. They've been documenting his growth through the years. Here's the original video: https://www.tiktok.com/@ntexotics/video/7647581681498508574

What is this song? Why does it sound familiar but not at all like something I actually listen to?

(It does make me wonder if this is AI but it seems like a real weird thing to have AI fake)

Edit, I did find albino Chital pics out there but... I can't find anything about any in captivity and this dude looks leucistic

I thought fallow deer at first but the antlers aren't shovel-y enough. Axis deer?

Allies deer. Axis deer have black trench coats and little caps with skulls on them.

I'm thinking it may be AI, because everything about the way they're moving seems off
